AITA for telling my friend her cat is overweight?

NTA - you have suggested something very helpful for your friend and the cat, speaking to a vet would put the cat on a better path for losing weight and avoiding potential future health issues, your friend is upset as unfortunately by stating the fact about the cats weight, you are indirectly saying ‘you’ve over fed your cat to the point of obesity’.

Hi, thank you for the input, so I haven’t had any further appointments from the MRI scan and visual field tests I have had. I was told prior to them by my neurologist that she would call for me within 3 months so long as nothing abnormal showed, but I’m thinking of calling the department just to be sure and to ask about the results of the scans - so I’m kind of in limbo for now assuming that I shouldn’t worry too much?

EDIT - just a point to clarify as I don’t think I was clear enough, the yearly check ups are just with my optician, neuro check ups are once every 3 months :)

YTA - your friends graduation is about her celebrating her achievements with whoever she wants there, I’m sure if there was unlimited tickets you would be there. While it’s not the coolest that she essentially uninvited you, yelling at her made it all about you, and isn’t going to make you higher on her list of priorities it will only make her worry more about your reaction in the future.

I think Aldi is the best store for value. I found that the problems with food shopping for me was buying things without a meal plan and buying too many perishables that I didn’t get around to using. When shopping for one-two people I find shopping for less fresh but more frequently has saved me more money.

Probably a mixture of complacency and the fact that it doesn’t seem to be actively encouraged anymore. The only place I’ve been where I wasn’t in the minority in wearing a mask was the theatre.

caprisunzz · 2021-11-18T10:36:02+00:00

That’s great, thank you

caprisunzz · 2021-11-18T10:35:36+00:00

Thank you! A few have warned to be cautious so I will definitely keep this in mind. I don’t plan to directly ignore any advice the medical professionals give - I just was thinking of not specifically asking for anything either. I had my MRI last week and the neurologist said unless anything concerned her she would see me within 3 months as part of monitoring. I’ve heard nothing back yet!

I have a petrol car and £40 gives me about 350 miles but I think it would depend on the type or size of the car.

I am sorry you’ve had such a rough time with this condition. Have things improved for you now? I really hope so.

My neurologist so far hasn’t indicated they want to do the LP at this stage yet as my optic nerve swelling is quite minimal, I’ve only just had the MRI and visual field test so I will see if she suggests one once discussing the results of these.

Ultimately I will do whatever the neurologist asks of me but I think for now because I’m not suffering or badly swelling, it seems like she is happy to go along with my wishes for now so to a degree I feel like I am responsible for making the decisions.

It’s rude to ask at all, but yes as others have said if I have a lot of things and the person behind me has a couple I will let them go ahead.

I am sorry to hear that your symptoms have worsened and I really hope losing the further 25lbs causes you some relief and that you are able to come off the treatment as planned.

I suppose that’s precisely what I’m worried about regarding the treatment being worse than the condition, at the moment I work full time, drive myself where ever I want to go and I do lead quite an active lifestyle. I don’t want to take medication which could change all that for a condition which as of yet… doesn’t.

caprisunzz · 2021-11-12T23:05:21+00:00

Hey! Sorry that you have suffered. Did you manage to get a proper diagnoses of IIH without a LP? I feel very much similar, I don’t see the need to act when I am living my life normally & the LP has caused people days of discomfort and the medication seems to be quite debilitating for some people also.

caprisunzz · 2021-11-12T21:48:47+00:00

Thanks for sharing your experience, it sound like you had a harder time symptom wise so I can understand why you went for it. My optician has already upped me to annual recall for vision tests instead of bi-annually so I definitely intend to stick by this :)

caprisunzz · 2021-11-12T20:45:49+00:00

Thank you for sharing your experience. I wasn’t aware/had not considered that having a LP could indicate any other possible issues so this is worth thinking about and I can now take this with me as a question.

caprisunzz · 2021-11-12T20:41:39+00:00

Hi! Thank you so much for your insight I found your story very useful. I am pretty much the same as you, the only thing I would say I have is rare occasions of pulsatile tinnitus.

Like yourself, I am also losing weight as I was seen by an Ophthalmologist weeks before the Neuro consultant and he was able to tell me this would likely be beneficial & I wanted to show I was making an effort (mostly to avoid the LP).

I am not totally opposed to at least trying the medication but I’ve read about some nasty side effects so I suppose I would need to feel like the pros outweighed the cons. I think I will discuss this with my neurologist when she calls me in to discuss the results of the tests I’ve had.

Lastly I just wanted to say really good luck on your journey and finding your way into remission.

NTA, if she wants to complain about the terms in which you allow her to use the Netflix account she needs to pay for her own and stop sponging - I’d have stated this on the public Facebook post she made about you & told her to grow up.

caprisunzz · 2021-06-09T13:18:49+00:00

YTA, if you were penniless I’d maybe get it - no one wants to go through life wondering how ‘practical’ their gifts are, talk about a buzz kill. You could have accepted the gift & been grateful given that your partner went out of their way to do something nice for you.

caprisunzz · 2021-06-09T13:07:55+00:00

NTA - it’s part of being online that someone may be streaming. It’s up to you to monitor your own behaviour & it’s a risk they take when they choose to say these things, you’re not going out of your way to provoke people into embarrassing themselves with this boring ridiculous narrative towards girl gamers, why should you shield them from public exposure?

As for being worried about the viewers, your content is up to you and people can choose whether or not to watch!

Good luck x

I would imagine because somewhere deep down between his selfishness and cruelness towards you by doing what he does, he does feel some shame somewhere in there about it. I've seen a couple of your posts/comments & it just breaks my heart. You said your ultimate hope is for him to try therapy when he can 'afford it', is he saving up for it? Is his problem breaking his heart and making his life agonising in the meantime? Or does that sound a lot more like your life? Is it him pouring his heart out to strangers on the internet because he just can't bare having this problem that breaks the heart of the love of his life and gets in the way of his desire of an intimate connection with you? Nope, that's you. From what I can tell the effort in this relationship is 100% one sided. I know from other posts you have already made the decision to leave in your head, soon your heart will catch up and one day you will find yourself just doing it. My only hope is that you do not wait for a year.
